1. Find the axis of symmetry.
y = x2 + 5x - 7

Completing the square, we have
So the axis of symmetry is x = -5/2

2. Solve. 5(x - 2)2 = 3

, so

3. Solve by completing the square.
x2 + 2x - 8 = 0

so , therefore x = 4 or x =

4. Find the x-intercepts.
y = x2 + 5x + 2

Setting x2 + 5x + 2 = 0, we have , or
, therefore , and
so the two x-intercepts are

5. Is the following trinomial a perfect square? Why?
x2 + 18x + 81

Yes, because it is

6. The demand and supply equations for a certain item are given by
D = -5p + 40
S = -p2 + 30p - 8
Find the equilibrium price.

-p2 + 35p - 48=0, so p2 - 35p+48=0, , we have two equilibrium prices,

7. Solve by using the quadratic formula. 5x2 + 5x = 3

8. Find the constant term that should be added to make the following expression a perfect-square trinomial.
x2 + 7x

x2 + 7x + 49/4

9. Identify the axis of symmetry, create a suitable table of values, then sketch the graph (including the axis of symmetry).

y = x2 - 4x

y = x2 - 4x = , axis of symmetry: x = 2

x y
2 -4
0 0
4 0

10. Identify the axis of symmetry, create a suitable table of values, then sketch the graph (including the axis of symmetry).

y = -x2 + 3x - 3

y = -x2 + 3x - 3 =
axis of symmetry: x=3/2
y-intercept: -3, No x-intercept because

x y
3/2 -3/4
0 -3

  • Decay Function, Growth Function, and Intercepts

    Did this mean to sayy intercept for both of these? There is no x intercept, right? Also, won't the y intercept be (0,1) for both of these types of functions generally? Thanks Hi there, Thanks for letting me work on your post.

  • Identify Graphs of Functions

    When x<=-2, the slope is -1, x intercept is -2; when x>-2, the slope is 1, the x intercept is -2, y intercept is 2. Therefore, the equation is y=|x+2|(7) H. For graph H, the slope is -1/2, the x intercept is 2, y intercept is 1.

  • Tangent Lines and Logarithmic / Exponential Functions

    (Hint: and share a special relationship) The exponential and logarithmic functions are inverse functions of each other Or So they are inverse functions of each other. And x-intercept and y-intercept is inverse of each other as well.

  • Graphing Parent functions

    For x-intercept, put y = 0. 0= e^x But e^x can never be negative. So there is no x-intercept. For y-intercept, put x = 0. y= e^0 = 1 Step 3: Find the asymptotes. As x approaches-∞, e^x approaches 0.
